    The resolution was held up for a few minutes when it was discovered one of the white Senators from Mississippi had tried to slip in the words "We just wish he hadn't tried to rub our noses in it."

    Chuck Berry awaits his. Of course, Chuck demands that he be paid in cash before he's pardon.

    Congress also gave a Medal of Honor to former WWF music writer Jim Johnson for writing the Ultimate Warrior's theme song.

    Jack Johnson's Posthumous Pardon would make an excellent double-alliterative Deadspin handle, if anyone's in the market.

    I think the bigger story here is Amy Poehler's repeated violations of the Leslie Mann Act.

    "Jack Johnson is a trailblazer and a legend...

    @sdot: Congress approved a resolution Wednesday urging a presidential pardon for Jack Johnson, the late black heavyweight champion who was imprisoned because of his romantic ties with a white woman.

    If doing white chicks is a crime, consider me guilty. Though I haven't been guilty as as often as I'd like lately.
